The ICK
It has struck again.
First it was Dylan. He had a hacking cough and was home from school for a WEEK.
Then it was Zach. He also had a hacking cough (that, at one point, I was convinced was Whooping Cough) and on Sunday developed a 104.6 degree fever. Fun times. Especially when Tylenol didn’t bring it down. Sigh.
Here’s a video to give you an idea of what it’s been like at our house for the past two weeks. After Zach’s whooping cough scare, I was trying to get a video evidence. Thankfully, the whooping sound had disappeared overnight. But we were left with this pathetic excuse for the world’s cutest 2 year old.
Now? I have it. Of fucking course. Well, I have the head cold portion of it. Luckily, so far, I haven’t developed the hacking cough part.
Fingers crossed.
Anyway, I have so much to fill you guys in on. But it’s going to have to wait, because sitting up and typing and, like, thinking, is making me really tired. And my eyes are watery and my nose is starting to run.
I paint a pretty picture, don’t I?
Thanks, once again, for sticking with me the past few weeks month. I know I’ve been MIA.
I have a TON of really awesome stuff to share with you. Once I’m capable of being upright for more than 30 minutes at at time.
Which will hopefully be soon.

That was the saddest thing ever. Course my 2 yr old has had chronic couging/congestion/ear infections, but hopefully the tubes will fix it next week. I just got over the flu so I know how you feel, hope you both feel better soon!

God love his sweet heart…i hate sick babies and he looked like he felt horrible. Tatum is sick now, came home from school with a fever and earache, hopefully nothing more serious than an ear infection. Her granddad is taking her to the urgent care as we speak (or type…ummm yeah…). He has never taken her to the dr before and while i trust him, it’s hard not going with them and hearing exactly what the Dr has to say. So hopefully nothing major and just a round of antibiotics will clear it up. Hope you all get better soon!!

Poor sweetie! My mommy radar wants to run my hands through his hair, too! The coughing through the pluggie is just pathetic.
Hope you make it through okay. At least we can do the good drugs!

I hope you’re feeling better soon, not only because I can’t wait to hear what you have to share but because being sick sucks so much. (Hugs)

In that last comment I was referring to the video, not the whole “sick and coughing” part.

I had the head cold, sucked. The wife and one kid had the stomach flu. Sucked harder. I hope it all passes soon, because no matter how hard it sucks, it sucks.

Oh what a sad little guy…My (almost 3 year old) has the ICK too. I hate him getting sick so much, I’d rather be sick myself instead. Good luck!

Awwww, poor little dude. I’m glad he’s feeling better! And so glad you didn’t get the coughing part of the ick.
I do, however, hope you are resting comfortably in your monkey jammies. I’m sure that helps immensely.

we are just starting to come out of the ick as well. i’m sorry, I know how you feel. I don’t have video proof, just black eyes at this point from motherhood induced exhaustion. Top of our ick with a traveling husband, not nice universe, not nice.

That video broke my heart. What a sad little dude he was.
Hope you’re all better by now. If not, then very very soon.

So the upside of being unemployed and having no life is that you rarely leave the house thus relating in ZERO ick for us this year (knock on wood). Hope you are all getting better!
